Appxplore's Alien Hive mixes match-three with alien evolution on iOS

After launching Sporos on iOS and Android last month, the folks at Appxplore have another puzzle game in the works for mobile gamers, as they're putting the finishing touches on Alien Hive, a game that matches mix-three puzzles with lots of strategy.

Alien Hive will challenge gamers with evolving aliens by dragging rows and columns of symbols to make matches. As aliens evolve and we earn more points, we'll unlock a variety of power-ups. These may cause massive explosions on the screen, turn symbols into new kinds without actually moving them, or simply fill in a gap if you're trying to destroy one particular type of alien but can't accomplish that otherwise.

Alien Hive offers Facebook integration for the sharing of achievements and high scores with friends, and those looking for a more strategic experience don't have to worry about running out of time while planning their next move. In fact, Appxplore specifically designed Alien Hive to be more "mellow" than "harsh."

Alien Hive is set to launch on iOS and Android later this month. We'll have a full review of the game at launch, so keep checking back with us!
